15” DRUM MACHINE OPERATION

INCREASE THROTTLE
• Once the clutch has been fully engaged
the engine can be run at full speed. Push
the throttle switch up to increase speed.
• The engine should always be run at high
RPM while material is being chipped or
the Auto-Feed Plus will stop the feed
wheels until the RPM is above the
minimum for your engine. Chipping at
high RPM will help keep the discharge
chute from clogging. High engine speed
increases the throwing power.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• All personnel must be wearing
protective equipment: eye and ear
protection; hard hat; short fitted gloves
without cuffs; long sleeve shirt; long
pants without cuffs; and over the ankle
work boots with skid resistant soles.
FEED MATERIAL
• You are now ready to start feeding
material into the chipper.
• Always have at least two operators at
the job site. One to load the trees and
brush into the chipper and one to always
stand and operate the feed control bar. It
is imperative to have someone operate
the feed control bar in case of an
accident where someone is pulled into
the feed wheels.
• Always have the trees and brush cut to
size for the chipper before the chipper
arrives at the job site.
• It is very dangerous to run a chain saw
and the chipper at the same time.
• If a tree gets jammed and has to be
trimmed, shut down the chipper.
ALWAYS FEED MATERIAL FROM THE RIGHT SIDE
AND BUTT END FIRST
